GE Silicon I Window and Door (without any mildew or mold inhibitors) will be okay.
Beware that silicon doesn't adhere well to acrylic, so don't expect your joints to be strong or very water tight.

silicone is not the best thing to use on acrylic or lexan. Lexan is alright to use silicone on if you are making a home made sump.
If you are wanting to make an acrylic tank/sump etc. you can use weld on #4 and weld on #16.
Research acrylic work before you start trying to put everything together.

i might try to sand the egdes of the acrylic with some light sandpaper to help with the silicone to stick......

What do you you recomend then for acrylic work then?

Weld-on or another acrylic welding compound.
You don't really "glue" acrylic... you fuse it or weld it.
